Garmisch- Partenkirchen 

 What a beautiful little town. We enjoyed walking around the town in the morning after having had a fabulous breakfast. 

 We headed in our car and off to see the Winter Olympic ski shoot the olympics were held here in 1936 for the fourth winter games. The shoot is truly huge I certainly wouldn't want to jump off. 

 We went on a little chair lift up to the top of the Eckbauer Bahn. The views were gorgeous. we rolled around in the grass while we were up there.

 In the european countries around the slops they have these toboggans. It was soo much fun daddy loved it.

We went to a small beach next to the castle there was also a long path way up to the castle that had a beautiful view from the top.

 After the tour of the castle we walked down and went to the other castle.  I ran up a mile long hill trying to beat the horse and buggy which I did!!!!!!!

 In the castle there was a piece of bread the he got for his birthday in the 1800's.  It looked like poop!!!!!!!!!

It is so cool and all the parents wanted to do was shop for luggage :( it was sooo boring but the rest of the day was fun especially when we went to look at the glockenspiel that was soo cool:). We also went out to the BMW plant by the Olympic park. 

 We went to the Marienplatz City Center so after that we kept looking at shops we went to the open market and ate lots of yummy fruits and vegetables for snacks, until we went to the hofbrauhaus house it was so funny to watch our parents get drunk again!! Then we went to sleep.

The Eiffel Tower was our first stop today because we were trying to beat the crowds. We had our usual crepe for the morning and headed to the queue for the tickets to go up the tower. It took a while in the line but we made it and took loads of pictures. It was amazing. On the way down we walked from the second floor, there were 672 steps to the bottom. Afterwards we went to the train for Munich. We were really excited because we went first class and surprised Mommy. 

 At the first stop we all got off and scared Mommy by standing outside the train and waving at her. She thought Daddy was crazy. The train is super cool, it’s called a TGV and it goes 200mph. We have got all our blog up to date and played cards the rest of the way.

We decide to stop for a while and shop at Printemps where Mommy bought some outfits down by the Opera that Ashley had to approve of. We also took a tour of the Opera which was sooo coool. Following that we got back on the bus and went to The Sacre Cur where we decided not to go in because the lines were too long. We did go into an amazing sweet shop though.

After we did every thing we went to the tube station( the underground) the tube station took us to the bus which took us the the train station and when we got on the train we did our blog the hole way there.  :(. then when the train stopped we were in Paris. To my surprise there was graffiti every where then we got off the train. On the way to the hotel Daddy’s wheel  broke and he dragged it the whole way....we laughed the entire way to the hotel and by the time we got there the wheel was rectangular. Mommy asked a guy at the information desk where is the Eiffel Tower and it was right next to the hotel. Then we went to this extremely fancy restaurant it was sooooo good and for dinner we had crepes and for dessert we had crepes and there was this guy who hit on every girl that passed him. Then we went to sleep.

The next day, Mick drove us to the Marriott Hotel in Swiss Cottage. We then went to the Olympics to try to buy tickets for gymnastics. We couldn’t get any. :( We took a cable car across the Thames, then walked to the Thames Barrier.
